  • Welcome to Sofie's beautiful workshop for a 2.5 hrs initiation session to leatherwork! 

    First, Sofie will show you the different types of leather available. You will be able to choose your leather before cutting out the pattern.

    After assembling the different elements, your creation will come together. To secure the whole set, Sofie will show you how to work with the sewing machine.

    You will leave this workshop with your beautiful creation and new knowledge about leather working! 

    Please note. Sofie has a new atelier, so it is different from the one shown in the photos. It is still a nice space and the machines you use are the same.

    Meet Sofie

    Leatherworker

    Sofie is so passionate about fashion that by the age of 16, she was already enrolled in a specialised school. She loved making clothes but her evening shoe making classes at Syntra Tongeren uncovered a real passion for leather. She completed her training in Morocco, where she learned more about creating bags. Since then, she has become a passionate artisan in designing and processing leathers bag. 

    Throughout her work, she always makes choices in favour of sustainability. Her production is only triggered by customer demand and she uses reclaimed leather from the industry. She wants to create an experience that showcases the craftsmanship and the quality of her leather bags. Her goal is to convey her vision without losing sight of what is important to her.

    Her brand is powerful through her designs, a beautiful balance between minimalism and detail. 

    This high-spirited artisan welcomes you in her workshop shared with other craftsmen : a serigraphist, a jeweller and a painter. 

    Whether it is through her work, a glass of good wine, a cup of coffee or some dance moves, Sofie is a truly passionate artisan.
